Why are my files deleted after uploading them

Sometimes, when you upload a file, the upload is completed but the file is deleted immediately afterwards. This is usually caused by one of the following issues: The file is not in a htdocs folder All websites files must be uploaded to either the main htdocs folder, or to the domain specific htdocs folder (like example.com/htdocs). You cannot upload files to other directories on your account. If you try to create or upload files anywhere else, they will be deleted automatically. The file type…

I didn’t delete it or upload elsewhere KangJL. this isn’t my first rodeo with websites or hosting svces, i’ve been doing this kind of webdav for almost 3 decades but this in fact the first time i’ve seen .htaccess seemingly vanish from the root directory whilst using the cpanel to input blocks on for example, all of North Korea, all of Libya and since i’m no friend to a specific site in question, all of Facebook in cidr format. again what gives as now i see no blocks in IP blocker cpanel but can still reach the site fine. please advise?

thanks

I can see that you do not read.
Let me quote the answer for you.

@Why are my files deleted after uploading them

The file exceeds the file size limit

The InfinityFree web servers have size limits for all files. If the file size exceeds the limit, the file is automatically deleted.

The size limits are:

• HTML and PHP files are limited 1 MB.
• .htaccess files are limited to 10 kB.
• All other files are limited to 10 MB.

Can you see the answer now?

[The_Mighty_Terrapin]

I read fine, I missed the .htaccess size but thanks for clarifying it. appreciated

[KangJL]

Welcome, I do admit that these articles can be quite lengthy sometimes…

[The_Mighty_Terrapin]

okay so if I reload the .htaccess file with just the default content intact it should re-appear I’m going to guess??

[KangJL]

If you do not exceed the 10kb size limit…
